FAQ

How Long Can My Divorce Take?

At the very least, Texas law requires a 60-day waiting period before a divorce can be finalized. But if child custody is a factor, if one party wants to contest the divorce in trial, or if complex spousal support and asset division are involved, then this could add months to the process. The bottom line is that getting a divorce is never an overnight process.

What Are Grounds for Divorce in Texas?

In Texas you can file for both no-fault and at-fault divorce. With a no-fault divorce, no one is blamed and the parties are simply agreeing that the marriage is irreparably damaged and conflict-filled. A couple can also file for no-fault divorce after living separately for three years. At-fault divorces can be filed when one party faults the other with adultery, abandonment, a felony conviction and prison sentence, and more. With an at-fault divorce, the reason for the divorce can affect child custody and visitation matters.

Do I Need to Hire a Divorce Attorney?

You are not required by law to hire an attorney, but hiring an attorney is crucial to avoiding costly errors and delays. Divorces tend to be filled with dense legal work, procedural requirements, and more. In an already emotional and stressful time, a divorce lawyer can help you skillfully and successfully handle the legal challenges ahead.
